And any remaining interest my friends have in me

Is just, "hey, this animal can talk!"

So all your friends are leaving town

You′re hiding out in your parents' house

They wonder why you never go to church

Hard to explain why it doesn′t work

'Cause you're not living in sin well

But you′re not living in health well

And you′re a danger to yourself well

And to pedestrians

(How are you doing?)

I co-write my songs with myself

He feels the feelings, I write the words

I co-write my songs with myself

He feels the feelings, I write the words

He writes down his feelings

I say

And he never saw the bright lights

And he never had a good time

And he never saw the bright lights

And he never saw the good times

So I sleep in my old loft bed

And search for hope inside my head

But even in my dreams

I know the difference between

What I want and what I got

'Cause what I got is "How are you doing?

"Why′s the door locked? I'll be out in a minute-second"

"Ooh these are good lyrics, I should charge a dollar per thought"

And what I want

What I want

What I want

What I want

What I want

What I want

What I want

What I want

Love isn′t love enough?

At least not how I'm making it

Love isn′t love enough?

I think this is the other thing

(Man, the system is really getting me down)

(It's the system that's causing my problems)

Don′t get mad at the system

You can′t change the system

Get mad at your lover!

You can affect your lover!

Like pulling out nails with the back of the hammer

(How are you doing?)

Spending my money in 12 dollar increments

Milkshake plus tip adds up to more than I think

And I admit my heart is a laughingstock

But that's why, that′s why, that's why, that′s why

'Cause I don′t want to be perceived, yeah

As a thing you can believe in

I'm an optical illusion

And pretty soon I think I'm leaving

And he never saw the bright lights

And he never had a good time

And he never saw the bright lights

And he never saw the good times

And he never saw the bright lights

And he never saw the good times

And he never saw the good times

When I stopped laughing and got to thinking

When I stopped laughing at how much we were drinking

When you never called me back

While I was staring at the paint crack

Fun while it lasted but it didn′t last

It was fun while it lasted but it didn′t

It was fun while it lasted but it didn't last

It was fun while it lasted but it didn′t

Love isn't love enough?

There′s nothing in the medicine

Love isn't love enough?

"Only her voice and bones are left; at last"

"Only her voice, her bones are turned to stone"

"Only her voice and bones are left; at last"

"Only her voice, her bones are turned to stone"
